when you came up with our idea for the one about the white house -- >> white house down. >> white house down. where did you get the idea from and how long did it take you to write that? >> i actually adapted a book by richard clark called against all enemies which he was the counterterrorism czar under president clinton. i was fascinated by the idea of what would happen in a crisis. and much like the sort of being of designated survivor in our film, it's bombing of the capitol, but it's a diversion. that film didn't end up getting made, but i really loved the world and wanted to explore it, but i love big summer popcorn movies. i try to blend the two of them. >> everything you write doesn't get made? >> no. >> i thought everything in hollywood gets made. >> god bless you, sir. from your lips. no, absolutely. i didn't end up getting -- >> white house down, you wrote it what year? >> i wrote it in 2012? i wrote it on speck -- >> speck means you're not getting paid. >> speck means i'm absolutely not getting paid. about a week before i finished it, i read online that a movie called olympus

the white house. she was so passionate about art that she even proposed the edition of a new wing on the white house to house an art gallery. unfortunately this never happened, but i think it's so interesting to imagine what it would be like if an entire wing of the white house was a gallery next slide. now in particular mrs. harrison loved watercolors china paintings and florals. she even helped to design the harrison white house china service this photograph shows a tea set painted by mrs. harrison featuring orchids, which were her favorite flower mrs. harrison would often go to the white house conservatory a large indoor garden where orchids were grown and get her inspiration while sitting and enjoying the flowers next slide. now here you can see a mahogany box which held mrs. harrison's watercolor supplies. it's in the collection of the benjamin harrison presidential site. and on the right is a sketch of her proposed white house expansion as you can see, it's quite palatial and it was too expensiv

i needed the white house with that. but i'll add just a little bit because i've answered your question that it was there was nothing not not an iota of truth to their portrayal in the crown. but um, there was a sort of a dramatic event during the dance bob mcnamara linda remembers this bob mcnamara then secretary of defense was twirling around the room christine ford wife of henry ford. it was a beautiful actually gorgeous woman low-cut white gown and and as he was twirling her around she had a wardrobe malfunction and people oh, but you know corrected it right quickly, but you can imagine that was a bitter of the evening. later dinner. i was not seated at the table with the president, but she wasn't of course and there was kurt douglas and happy rockefeller, but the summary answer was none of that portrayed in the crown was accurate. well, let me just add that. quite a few of the social aids dancing with mrs. ford and it's all i saved her. i pulled, you know help with up so but i mean it has been a story over 50 years

by the time eleanor roosevelt gets to the white house, she rectifies the situation by firing most of ple. i will let you decide that is progress or not, but it's no longer segregation, because there's only one race working in the kitchen. but overall we see that overall we have these cooks that are culinary artists and many times family confidence. presidents go to their funerals, their weddings, they send them notes, gifts one significant family events happen. we see presidents terribly moved when they have to leave the white house. and a change of administration there is a tradition where the resident staff lines up in the president goes known align and thank them all for their service. the other thing is we see there are often civil rights advocates. they're pressing for african americans to have their humanity accepted and the brighter society. we saw with lucy magnified it for fdr while campaigning, but another example is the front right, a longtime private cook for lyndon johnson. lyndon johnson, when pressing for the 1964 civil rights act, he actually uses her jim crow experien

what they're hearing from the white house is that the white house is fully committed to getting their support. they really do want this bill to be bipartisan, and i think that would be the best outcome for the american people. >> daniel, let's get into the weeds of this thing. i want to read from a politico piece. the administration's plan calls for electrifying at least a fifth of u.s. school buses out of a fleet of nearly 500,000. the plan also calls for converting the entire fleet of federal vehicles to electric, 650,000. it also contains a staggering 50 billion over eight years to create an office within the commerce department to oversee the nation's critical supply chains whose vulnerabilities have been exposed during the coronavirus pandemic. this piece was really about what folks may have missed in this infrastructure plan. we're talking a lot about the headlines out of this thing, but there is a lot of stuff that we haven't necessarily spoken of that could really benefit americans. >> yeah. there's a ton of things that the biden administration has put into this package to rea

let's begin with some action on capitol hill and at the white house. a meeting the president is going to have with members of congress, democrats and republicans. give us details, who will be at the table and what is on the agenda in terms of the issue of bipartisanship? guest: it is truly in for structure week in washington as lawmakers come back from the recess, and it is kicking off with a meeting at the white house with the president, vice president and a bicameral and bipartisan group of lawmakers. that meeting will have california's senator and also democrats and republicans. you can expect to hear from -- hear about the corporate tax rate. president biden is proposing to raise it from the current 21% to 28%. that is something republicans have said they've but he mentally oppose. you can also hear a lot of conversation about whether or not this planned the president has put forward pays for itself. the white house proposes to pay for eight years of spending and we have seen that emerge as a sticking point. meanwhile you have moderate democrats as

we expect to see in more fuller budget request from the white house in terms of what they would like to do there. certainly, there is pressure from advocates and folks across the country to make investments in social security that will ensure the program's sustainability. the program is facing challenges in terms of insolvency in the coming years, in the near future, and some would argue that the pandemic has made that worse. so it will be interesting to see what they propose were social security and programs like medicare and medicaid. host: the cabinet this week will begin going to capitol hill to testify. one will testify before the appropriations subcommittee on the usda's 2022 budget. we will also hear from the transportation secretary tomorrow, and the hhs secretary. if there is a theme to the wish list, that we will hear from the cabinet secretaries in the hearings, what is it? guest: historic investment in domestic programs. the non-defense programs, programs that do not involve the pentagon or military. that's because we are now on the other side of what was 10 years of stri

the octagon is two blocks from the white house. it for james and dolley madison as they try and resume government as quickly as possible. this majestic, elegant, spacious house was the perfect setting for the different events that dolley needed to orchestrate and manage in the life of the president. this is the entry foyer. this is why the house is known as the octagon. it's a round room, which was very popular in those days. for dolley, this was an important room to welcome guests in. as you can see, it's a round room, and when you're in this room, no matter where you stand, you are an equal. and this was very important for dolley, to make everybody feel welcome, be they enemies or allies. this room is a good example of why this house was so good for dolley. she was known for her wednesday drawing room events where they became known as squeezes because you had 200 to 300 people before the war coming and during the war, up to 500 people were coming. this room, of course, could only fit about 50 to 100 people but it still served that

what's the white house's view on salt? >> salt, of course, restoring the salt is not a way to pay for the plan, it's another deduction. i've talked to josh and he's an old friend. we want to engage those parts of the country, and it's a major issue. i want to hear how they would pay for this tax deduction and how it fits into the overall package. look, we know that to pass this bill, we're going to need a prod broad change of support and -- need a broad change of support, and we'll put that together with the republicans and democrats to try to find the votes, and that's the process that got the american rescue plan passed and we'll go through a bipartisan effort in the future. >> most republicans in the senate, if you're on the hunt for senate republicans, they voted in 2017 to cut the corporate tax rate from 35 to 21. many of them believe that whether you agree with this or not, that a strong economy followed those tax cuts and were partially a result of that vote. you're now asking them to partially reverse the corporate

reporter: have the white house been informed? jen: not as of earlier this morning but i can check with the national security team on details. reporter: infrastructure, anything you can update on any serious negotiations happening with the g.o.p. on paperwork, anything you can share on infrastructure? jen: what we're waiting for is a counterproposal from republicans in congress. and they've indicated they're working through that. so we look forward to seriously considering any -- any proposal that any good-faith engagement, i should say, that comes our way. but we're waiting. we're on the receiving end for that. we're looking forward to that. on pay-fors, there are two options for to job-creating plan. the president believes it should be done by having corporations pay their fair share. that's what he said, increase the tax. global minimum tax. some in congress think it should be paid for by putting the burden on the backs of americans. we should have that debate but that's a fundamental disagreement. those are the two options. re

by the way, and presumably the white house says the same thing. they send a lot of electronic records that on their face may not seem veryth significant. i think the differences with the white house, with the president you can't always assess the significance of the presidents records in a contemporary timeframe. a lot of what becomes interesting is time. that is why the fact the provision that allows the president currently to dispose of records that are considered not permanent, is really misplacing needs to go. there has to be a default that everything that comes out of the white house everything that's presidential records needs to be preserved. we leave to the archivist after the president has left office to sift through and t decide whether or not in fact, maybe they don't need to keep every letter and e-mail that was sent from someone outside the whiteth house. but the real risk, i would rather air on the side of preserving too much then preserving too little. these fears are even heightened with president trump. as i have been saying, i be

for white house style we still appreciate today. during his presidency, monroe undertook two initiatives that consciously or unconsciously echoed those of george washington. in 1789 washington conducted a four-week tour of new england, a claim by the people wherever he went. in 1817 monroe also went on tour, visiting not only new england, but all of the northern states and territories over a period of 15 weeks. he cruised the chesapeake region in 1818 and in 1819 spent five months visiting states of the south and west. the popularity of these presidential excursions, particularly the first one, produced what one newspaper called an era of good feelings in the country. the term endures as a catchphrase of monroe's administration. in foreign policy monroe revealed a philosophical closeness to washington whose farewell address cautioned his country to avoid becoming entangled in european power struggles through political and military alliances. of all the advice washington left, this is the one that endured the longest. certainly the o

how is the white house likely to respond to this? i is key here, her saying she's not going to put it in the house. therefore, this particular bill is not going to become law. what this means for the white house overall is this is a conversation that democrats want to have. it's been commissioned ted white house to possibly expanding the size but there is real worry here especially for democrats coming toward 2022. this could be a real republican talking point. in some ways it already is, but if republican seize on this issue along with immigration and seize on the idea that democrats are trying to change institutions in order to have justice be in their political favor this could be a complicated factor for the white house. that is why the white house has not thrown any support behind expanding the court. while it's a conversation some the base are having i think it's a little early to say whether or not there is a plan going forward in the supreme court to at all change. >> monica, let's look ahead to the next hour or so. what are w

the white house keeps saying there's more that you can do.er, which is a crime as far as i'm concerned at this point, and she's got ten court cases challenging her. i heard last week on "morning joe" when you were on scott gottlieb say that it is accepted public health policy to send vaccines into areas where it is surging. my hospitals, every one of my hospitals is full in my district including the university of michigan. they are canceling surgeries, it is younger people that are in the hospital. some very young children are having side effects and i appreciate the white house paying attention to it. we need more help. >> so basically you're saying that the governor is doing everything she can considering the political pressures on her and this issue with the money. can you explain a little bit further what money is it that you sent out there that she's not been able to use in your state to fight this? >> any of the money that we sent that was authorized in the december bill. so money for schools. there's money for schools that is sitting t

what is the white house's view on salt?on: restoring the salt the duction is not a way to pay for the planted i have -- pay for the planted we want to -- we under kant -- we understand the concern it i want to hear how they would pay for the deduction. we know that to pass this bill, we are going to need a broad range of support. we are going to try to put that together in the weeks ahead working with democrats, republicans to try to find the votes. that is the process that got the american rescue plan past. we are going to go through an effort, hopefully this time a more bipartisan effort to pass this much needed investment in america's future. ryan: most republicans in the senate if you are on the hunt for senate republicans, they voted in 2017 to cut the corporate tax rate from 35 to 21. many of them believed that a strong economy followed those tax cuts and the results of that vote. you are asking them to partially reverse the corporate tax rate and bring it back up to 28%. by my account, nine out of the 10 republicans

this is how the white house is going try to change the economy post-pandemic.human infrastructure part of this bill focuses on increasing access to child care, increasing paid family leave and increasing access to free community college. it has roughly a $ 1.5 trillion price tag. republicans are generally against this and republican politicians and the white house is far more invested in what republican voters think, but there is one complicating factor here for the white house in that democrats aren't entirely onboard with this. joe manchin, the democrat from west virginia gave an interview yesterday and he suggested that he wants to see the physical infrastructure bill separated from the so-called social spending human infrastructure bill and he also wants it to go through the regular order on capitol hill. he wants this bill to be hashed out in committee before it moves to the floor for an amendment process, but that takes time, andrea, and you know, political capital is a finite resource and the longer this process takes, there could be hiccups that pop up
